Plumbing & hydrant is the skilled trade of working with pipes, tubing, and special fixtures for the distribution and use of water in a building and the drainage of waterborne waste. It is one of the most important aspects of the building design.
This course provides basic design criteria pertinent to the design of plumbing systems. This course may be used for conceptual design in the absence of any more appropriate information. This course identifies and outlines the types of drainage systems (sanitary and storm water), effluent disposal, supply water distribution systems and hot water systems, appropriate for your needs, together with the wise system design & energy conservation. This course will be of value to all operators who are responsible for ensuring hydrants in their water system are in good working order. Upon completion of the course students will be able to create and carry out a hydrant maintenance program that suits their individual needs.
OBJECTIVE
- Have a better understanding of the design criteria for plumbing systems and hydrant; Plumbing Criteria, Drainage Systems, Water Supply Systems, Insulation Of Plumbing System, Fuel Gas System, Energy Conservation
